Red Mazda CX

Supected getaway SUV

Police are circulating a picture (right) of what they believe is a red Mazda CX SUV used in the attempted abduction of an 8-year-old girl near Blaydon Public School in the west end last Friday. Apparently the child told her parents about the incident on Friday night5 some hours after she had been grabbed by the man. He covered her mouth with his hand and dragged her 60 metres to an SUV. But the child struggled and escaped. The suspect was white, 40-50, 5’8″, skinny build with short grey hair. He was wearing a blue and pink t-shirt, grey sweat pants, and black dress shoes. He drove away in what is believed to be a red Mazda CX-5 with tinted windows.

It seems like a long shot somehow given the absolute lock that the Maple Leafs have been able to place on competition from Hamilton. Fans in The Hammer would kill to see an NHL club.
